A military policeman came in a hurry on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
By the way, motorcycles are still very useful in places like Chongqing. Especially three-wheeled motorcycles.
The terrain is rugged and there are uphill slopes everywhere. Walking is exhausting. Riding a bicycle is also exhausting.
There are many roads that cars cannot pass, and the chassis will be bumped up.
Only these motorcycles can travel unimpeded. Unfortunately, there are only 300 of them!
In the past, I gave a little here and a little there, but there may not be much left.
"What's up?"
"Commissioner, Director Lin, please go back."
"Give me the car."
"yes."
Zhang Yong drove his motorcycle back to his official residence.
Lin Qianjun stood outside waiting.
Every time he sees this new secretary, Zhang Yong will think of five words——
I am Lin Qianjun.
The consequences of never declassifying it back then were too serious.
"Commissioner."
"What's up?"
"The Soviets are calling."
"oh."
Zhang Yong was thoughtful.
As expected, the fighting nation does not seek revenge overnight.
In just a few days, he formulated a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. He called himself there in the middle of the night.
Go see Director Lin.
Sure enough, Director Lin said straight to the point: "The Soviets want you to go to Lanzhou Airport. They want to discuss the battle plan with you face to face."
"Okay." Zhang Yong looked at the time. It happened to be three in the morning.
Take off now. It only takes about three hours from Chongqing to Lanzhou. You can still fly slowly.
It was dawn when we arrived at Lanzhou Airport. We could land safely.
I have an illusion that it may be very far from Chongqing to Lanzhou. In fact, it is only 800 kilometers.
If you walk, it takes a long time because the roads are impassable and there are no decent highways. But if you fly, three hours is enough.
"After dawn, we will stop in Chengdu." Director Lin said again.
"Chengdu?" Zhang Yong was surprised.
I thought it was a direct flight! Why did it have to make another stop?
By the way, if my period stops, my plans will change.
It may take longer to arrive at Lanzhou Airport.
"Yes." Director Lin nodded, "Take a few people to Lanzhou."
"Okay." Zhang Yong didn't ask who it was.
No need. It could be a staff member of the national government.
Lanzhou has a large stockpile of Soviet aid supplies and a large number of Soviet people. It is normal to send people there.
When I flew from Hankou to Chongqing, didn't I take Xue Yue and Yu Jishi with me?
It is similar to the free rides of later generations. I have my own free ride.
So I said goodbye and came back to make preparations.
I slept in Yunyuan fully clothed and slept until five o'clock.
To Coral Dam Airport.
The plane is ready. It's a DC-3 transport plane.
I checked out of habit and found that the cabin had been renovated. Several wicker chairs had been fixed for seating people.
There are two rows on the left and right, three in each row, which can seat six people.
Tilted head.
Is it going to be used for passenger transportation?
No, if it’s a passenger transport, just get a civil airliner!
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"What's going on?"
"Report. We made temporary modifications in accordance with the requirements above."
"knew."
Zhang Yong didn't bother to ask.
Just modify it. It seems to be good.
Next time, let Chen Shanben fly the plane and sit on the wicker chair by yourself, so you don’t have to sleep on the floor.
take off.
Fly northwest.
Fly slowly.
An hour later, we arrived at Chengdu Fenghuangshan Airport.
Zhang Yong had been to this airport before. It was very crude and almost unusable.
But it has changed a lot now. It has obviously been renovated with great efforts. It looks like an airport.
It is estimated that the expansion will need to continue because the B-29 bomber wing will need to be stationed in the future.
B-29 bombers taking off from Fenghuangshan Airport could fly to the Japanese invaders' homeland, conduct bombings, and then fly back.
Before the beautiful country occupied Okinawa, there were still many B-29 bombers taking off from China.
However, after the beautiful country occupied Okinawa, the B-29 bombers deployed in China gradually withdrew.
Because it takes off from Okinawa, the distance is shorter and safer.
landing.
Found some acquaintances.
I don’t know him, but he has seen the guards around Lao Jiang.
They are wearing Chinese tunic suits but are not equipped with weapons.
Outside the airport, there are numerous military police, fully armed. There seems to be regular troops as well. I don’t know whose troops they belong to.
I had a vague feeling that something might be about to happen.
Subsequently, the radar map showed that Gendarmerie Commander Gu Zhenglun appeared.
Huh?
Gu Zhenglun is here?
No wonder I didn't see him last night.
Unfortunately, he is not in Chongqing at all.
Did you blame him wrongly?
His expression remained motionless.
A moment later, Gu Zhenglun arrived quickly.
"Commander Gu!"
"Shaolong, please wait a moment."
"OK."
"The appointment will be here soon."
"Appointment?"
Zhang Yong was surprised.
Lao Jiang? What are you going to do?
Going to Lanzhou?
No way?
What was he doing in Lanzhou?
Does the history book say that he went to Lanzhou at this time?
By the way, is Lanzhou safe?
Oh, Zhu Shaoliang is in Lanzhou.
After the Battle of Songhu, Zhu Shaoliang resigned as commander of the Corps and returned to Gansu Province.
Why did you say go back?
Because he turned out to be the chairman of Gansu Province and the director of pacification in Gansu.
In this three-acre area of Gan Province, Zhu Shaoliang can still control the situation. The local garrison is all under his command.
"Appointment..."
"Go to Lanzhou."
"oh."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Sure enough, it was Chiang Kai-shek who was going to Lanzhou.
I made a temporary stop in Chengdu just to pick him up.
Didn't ask in detail.
Whatever I can tell you, I will tell you naturally.
If I don’t tell you, it means you don’t need to know or are not qualified to know.
"The Soviets value you very much," Gu Zhenglun said.
"What?" Zhang Yong was confused.
"They are going to award you with the Order of the Red Star."
"Give me?"
"Yes. Here you go. The relevant report has been submitted to the commission in writing. The commission is also very happy."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
I don't know what to say. It feels weird.
If you want to say you are happy, it doesn't seem to be the case. If you want to say you are unhappy, it doesn't seem to be the case.
The Soviets actually wanted to award themselves the Order of the Red Star?
Isn't the Order of the Red Star only awarded to the Soviets themselves? Can it also be awarded to foreigners?
By the way, am I the Holy Body of the Innate Medal?
Others are so fond of awarding me medals.
actually……
No need to...
The best discount...
Of course, I think so. I would never dare to say it out loud.
This matter probably made Chiang Kai-shek feel proud. Therefore, he had to happily accept the Red Star Medal.
Let's go back and find a way to help the Soviet pilots severely beat the Japanese aircraft.
It just so happens that I am best at this.
"Shaolong, you are really young and promising!" Gu Zhenglun sighed with emotion.
"It's all commissioned cultivation." Zhang Yong replied hastily.
I thought, if you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak.
If you continue to praise me, I will achieve great results and shock the master!
If you want to praise, you must also praise Comrade Jianfeng. He is the heir to the party and state.
I was just a helper, a temporary handyman. After beating the little devil, I ran away immediately. We never saw each other again.
etc……
Comrade Jianfeng...
He has returned from studying in Russia. He should have a share in Lanzhou!
How could Comrade Jianfeng not be present on such an occasion? There should be no obstacles for him to communicate with the Soviets.
"Mr. Nicholas has arrived in Lanzhou in advance."
"Nicholas..."
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Aren’t you talking about Comrade Jianfeng? What Nikolai! Oh, Russian name.
This title really sounds like a vampire.
He has already gone to Lanzhou? Old Chiang Kai-shek does appear to be very sincere when he goes there again.
"I see."
Nod to show understanding.
Old Jiang is going to stand up for Xiao Jiang. Maybe it’s Xiao Jiang’s first appearance?
Then silence.
No more topics.
A few minutes later, the radar map showed that Chen Cheng was coming.
Huh?
He is actually there too?
Little Chairman!
It seems that he is also going to Lanzhou?
What's going on over there in Lanzhou? Do you need Xiao Jiang, Lao Jiang and Chen Cheng to go there together?
Is there any big shot from the Soviet Union coming over?
Suddenly I thought of Rokossovsky. This is the real boss in the future.
Unfortunately, for now, I have to remain anonymous and dare not show my face.
Rommel has already returned to China. He didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. It was really just a one-time acquaintance. We probably won't meet him again in the future.
Seriously, I still owe Rommel a promise! I feel guilty...
Life is like this.
Many were caught off guard.
Lao Cao...
He really didn't even have any last words. He just left so suddenly.
well……
After a while, Chen Cheng arrived.
"Shao Long."
"Minister Chen."
"The appointment will be here soon."
"good."
Zhang Yong did not ask in detail.
The radar map showed that He Yingqin also appeared.
Hey, it’s quite lively! The big boss from the Military and Political Department actually showed up too. Are you going to Lanzhou too?
No, wait.
Are you all going to fly on my plane?
Commission and you?
Very risky!
You can't put all your eggs in the same basket, really...
What if...
History will really be rewritten!
I can't afford such a serious responsibility...
Comrade Jianfeng is currently unable to shoulder the important responsibilities of the party and the state, and no one will obey him.
What a joke!
After a while, He Yingqin arrived.
"Minister He."
"Shao Long."
The two greeted each other warmly.
It seems that there is never any barrier.
Zhang Yong couldn't hold himself back and asked quietly: "Do you want to arrange a fighter escort?"
"No need. Temporary arrangement. Only a few people know about it."
"OK."
Zhang Yong had no objection.
Indeed, there is no problem with confidentiality.
Even I didn't know the specific situation until I arrived at Fenghuangshan Airport.
Then just wait patiently.
After a while, a motorcade appeared.
The appointment has arrived.
Light and simple.
Dusty.
It is indeed quite tiring. I have to go to Lanzhou so early.
There was no other way. He was short-tongued and soft-handed. If he wanted help from the Soviets, he would only be wronging himself.
Send your son over first to talk to the other party, and then go there yourself.
"Appointment."
Come forward and salute.
The other person nodded. He looked very tired.
My mood was obviously not too high. I didn't want to talk. I just got on the plane.
"Let's go!"
"yes."
Others followed and got on the plane.
Six people were sitting on six temporarily modified wicker chairs.
Three bosses. Three secretaries.
Zhang Yong took off in a plane.
Forget it, if others are not afraid, what should you be afraid of?
The historical development trajectory has not been completely revised for himself. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek will not easily get into trouble.
silence.
Climb.
All the way to an altitude of 4,000 meters.
The cabin was starting to get cold. Fortunately, everyone had sweaters with them.
Heading due north by east.
You can clearly see that on the left is the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. You can see the white snow-capped mountains.
The height of some snow-capped mountains is obviously much higher than that of an airplane.
Flying from Chengdu to Lanzhou does not require flying over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
However, if you are flying to India, it is necessary. Those snowy mountains will become a fatal obstacle.
Flying over Deyang, Mianyang...
Flying over Guangyuan, Tianshui...
The ground began to become desolate. Everything that came into view was yellow-brown.
This is the Great Northwest. It’s barren and droughty.
The air map is clean. There aren't any other aircraft.
Only Zhang Yong flew the plane by himself, flying alone in the sky.
The inconspicuous DC-3 transport plane carried three of the most powerful people in China.
One of them is also the head of state.
No fighter escort. Nothing. The style is indeed a bit shabby.
If there is some mechanical failure at this time...
Hehe, I don’t dare to think too much.
Flying over Dingxi...
Close to Lanzhou Airport.
Connect with airport communications.
Guided landing.
Stop the plane.
Someone came up to greet him.
Oh, the leader is Mr. Nicholas.
There were several Soviet representatives nearby. They seemed to be of quite high rank.
The person who could make Chiang Kai-shek fly to Lanzhou in person to meet him is certainly not an ordinary person. It's a pity that he doesn't know him.
But it doesn't matter.
These so-called big guys will soon disappear into the dust of history.
With the arrival of June 22, 1941, almost all polar bear bosses have been changed. Except for the loving father, everyone else has changed.
There was also someone who came to wait for Zhang Yong. It was Varedin. He actually came back to Lanzhou Airport.
"Zhang, Davarixi, you are finally here."
"Davarisi..."
Zhang Yong greeted the other party and was then taken away.
He didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek was doing in Lanzhou. His own mission was to fight.
He was soon led into a smoke-filled war room.
Soviet people are very aggressive in smoking. They are just as aggressive in drinking.
"Zhang, please sit down."
"Thanks."
Zhang Yong sat down.
Someone began to introduce the battle plan.
"Zhang, we have submitted a transfer application for a bomber group."
"We said in the telegram that a group of SB2 bombers will take off at 11 a.m. and are expected to arrive at Xi'an Airport at 1 p.m."
"If the Japanese intercept our intelligence, they will definitely dispatch fighter jets to intercept it."
"That way, we can take advantage of the situation."
"In this battle, we will dispatch three I-16 fighter groups, with a total of thirty-six fighter jets."
The other party ends the introduction.
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
envious.
real.
To have strength is to be strong.
Although there were losses in previous battles, the Soviet Union did not lack fighter jets.
Several fighter groups can be dispatched at will.
When it comes to productivity, except for the beautiful United States, which is super, Germany and the Soviet Union are probably almost the same.
The quality of German weapons is better than anything else, like the King Tiger.
The Soviet Union's weapons were superior in number, often numbering in the tens of thousands.
No matter how powerful the King Tiger is, its numbers are too small and cannot withstand the siege of T-34s like a tide.
What's more, the Soviets also have their own super heavy tanks.
"Zhang, this is our supreme commander, Air Force Lieutenant General Yakovsky."
"Hello, General."
"Zhang, I hope our plan can succeed."
"good."
"The plane is ready for you. Please!"
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
He could feel that Yakovsky didn't trust him very much.
Maybe my perception is too mysterious and the other person doesn't believe it.
At this moment, the Soviet Union strongly promotes science and extremely rejects all "feudal superstitions".
It just so happens that the Guiguzi that Zhang Yong was talking about falls into the category of feudal superstition.
Unless he proves himself with facts again.
No one mentioned the Order of the Red Star.
Obviously, he needs to win in exchange.
If it helps the Soviets achieve victory, the medal will be awarded.
If it fails, it's gone.
It's just so realistic.
"After takeoff, there will be two hours of radio silence on the ground in Lanzhou."
"clear."
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
It seems that the Soviets have vowed to take revenge this time.
In order to prevent leaks, radio silence is implemented for two hours. This applies to the entire Lanzhou ground. It is not limited to the airport.
In this way, if there is a traitor who wants to report the news, it will be impossible.
The radar map shows no red dots.
This shows that there are no spies inside or outside Lanzhou Airport.
Then, the only possibility is that it is a traitor.
The only way to report the traitor is through radio.
After all radio stations are silenced, if the traitor radio station is working, it will be found quickly.
"Set off!"
"yes."
Come to the track.
The plane is indeed ready.
BA-65 fighter jet.
There was an acquaintance next to him, Gao Yuanhang.
"Captain Gao."
"Commissioner Zhang."
Zhang Yong greeted the other party warmly.
It's a pity that Gao Yuanhang was involved in official duties and has been separated from the front line of the battle.
As a representative of the National Air Force, Gao Yuanhang was responsible for testing and then receiving various aircraft delivered by the Soviet Union.
Almost all airplanes take off for about half an hour to test their performance.
If any abnormalities are found, they need to be reported as soon as possible.
"Gone."
"Goodbye."
Gao Yuanhang waved goodbye.
He didn't know where Zhang Yong was going. It was all secret.
Soon, Zhang Yong took off in his plane.
Subsequently, a series of I-16 fighter jets took off.
Form a team in the air and head southeast.
result……
As soon as we arrived in the sky above Dingxi, the air command map reminded us that a large number of Japanese fighter planes appeared in the northeast.
